Further, the present invention is not limited to the single device shown in FIG. 1, and a plurality of devices may be configured to cooperate and function integrally.

[Game description]
The online game provided in the game system 1 is a team battle game in which a plurality of players 3 are divided into teams, and each player 3 operates a player character in the game space to engage the teams.

FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a team battle game in this embodiment. In the game of the present embodiment, in the game field 10, a plurality of players 3 attack from left to right in FIG. 2, the first team (named "team RED"), and the first team from right to left. It is divided into two teams (named "team BLUE"), and each player 3 fights using the soldier character as the player character 5.

The game field 10 is configured by setting the main team 12 and the intermediate base 14 as the bases of each team on various terrains constructed in the game space. The main team 12 is the first base to which the affiliation is fixedly set for each team from the start of the game, and one or more are set for each team. In the present embodiment, the first team main team 12a, which is the main team 12 of the first team, and the second team main team 12b, which is the main team 12 of the second team, are set. The intermediate base 14 is a neutral base that does not belong to any team at the start of the game, and can be used as a base of its own team by controlling each team. At the start of the battle, each character 5 appears in the main team 12 of the team to which the character belongs and sorties. Then, the team that advances while controlling the intermediate bases 14 scattered between the main teams 12 and captures the main team 12 of the opponent team first wins. In addition, a time limit is set in this game, and if neither team can capture the main team 12 of the other team when the time limit has passed, the team with the larger gauge value wins.

FIG. 3 is an example of a game map set as the game field 10. In this embodiment, game maps of various terrains such as deserts, mountainous areas, castles, and outer space are prepared. Regardless of the terrain of the game map, it is a game whose main purpose is to capture the main team 12 of the opponent team. Therefore, basically, the main teams 12 of each team are set at positions far from each other, and a plurality of intermediate bases 14 are set to be scattered between the main teams 12 of each team. That is, the intermediate base 14 is set to a position that can be reached with a shorter reach than the reach of the opponent team's main team 12 when viewed from the main team 12 of each team. In the example of FIG. 3, the main team (first team main team) 12a of the first team is set on the left side in FIG. 3, and the main team (second team main team) 12b of the second team is set on the right side. Further, the intermediate bases 14 are set to be scattered near the center between the first team main team 12a and the second team main team 12b.

At the start of the match, the character 5 of each team appears in the main team 12 of the own team, and all the intermediate bases 14 are in a neutral state that does not belong to any team. When the match starts, each team can make the intermediate base 14 a base belonging to its own team by controlling the intermediate base 14. Character 5 of each team can use the intermediate base 14 belonging to its own team (= controlled by its own team) as a sortie base such as recovery of physical strength value or reappearance position after becoming incapacitated. In addition, the main team 12 of the own team can be used as a defense base to prevent capture from the opponent team. Therefore, the battle situation can change significantly depending on the number of intermediate bases 14 to be suppressed and which intermediate base 14 is to be controlled. Therefore, controlling the intermediate base 14 is one of the points for advancing the game in an advantageous manner.

FIG. 4 is an example of a game screen displayed on the operation terminal 1500 of the player 3 during the game. The game screen is a gauge according to the main team parameter value indicating the degree of capture of the main team 12 of each team on the image in the game field 10 seen from the virtual camera set to follow the player character 5 operated by the player 3. It is displayed as a screen in which various information related to the game such as the main team gauge 20 whose value increases or decreases and the elapsed time 22 from the start of the game are combined. In addition, a radar screen or the like showing the base of each team or the approximate position of the character 5 may be displayed on the schematic map of the game field 10.

For the main gauge 20, the left end is "0%" and the right end is "100%" for the left gauge, the right end is "0%" and the left end is "100%" for the right gauge, depending on the gauge value. The main parameter value is displayed as a percentage. The main team parameter value is set to a predetermined value (100%) at the start of the game, decreases by being attacked by the character 5 of the opponent team during the game, and when it reaches zero (0%), the main team 12 captures the opponent team. It will be done. In the example of FIG. 4, as the main team gauge 20, the first main team gauge 20a for the first team is displayed on the upper left side of the screen, and the second main team gauge 20b for the second team is displayed on the right side.

In the present embodiment, the gauge value will be described as increasing or decreasing according to the main team parameter value of the team concerned, but conversely, it may be increased or decreased according to the main team parameter value of the opponent team. In that case, the gauge value is a value indicating how much the opponent team has been captured, that is, a value indicating the progress of the game for the own team.

Since the game of this embodiment has a time limit, the remaining time until the end of the game may be displayed as the elapsed time 22.

The plurality of intermediate bases 14 set in the game field 10 are neutral bases that do not belong to any team at the start of the game, and can be used as bases for their own teams by controlling each team.

FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the suppression of the intermediate base 14. The intermediate base 14 can be suppressed by satisfying a predetermined suppression condition. The suppression condition of the intermediate base 14 in the present embodiment satisfies the character number condition regarding the number of characters of each team located in the predetermined suppression area 16 defined in the intermediate base 14, and also satisfies the above character number condition. A predetermined time elapses in this state (time condition). The character number condition is defined as a condition for the number of characters of the own team relative to or absolute with the opponent team. The character number condition is defined as, for example, "the number of characters of the own team is two or more more than the number of characters of the opponent team" and "there are three or more characters of the own team without the character of the opponent team". The time condition is defined as a predetermined time condition of several to several tens of seconds, for example, "10 seconds".

FIG. 5 shows a game screen in which the first team is trying to suppress the intermediate base 14, and the suppression gauge 24 is displayed on this game screen. The suppression gauge 24 is a gauge indicating the degree of suppression of the team trying to suppress the intermediate base 14 (hereinafter referred to as "team in the middle of suppression"). The suppression gauge 24 has a gauge value according to the elapsed time in a state where the character number condition is satisfied, with the left end in FIG. Increases to indicate how well the time condition is met. That is, the suppression gauge 24 is displayed when one of the teams is in a state of satisfying the character number condition, which is one of the suppression conditions, and is regarded as a team in the middle of suppression that is trying to suppress the intermediate base 14. Then, the gauge value of the suppression gauge 24 increases according to the elapsed time in the state where the team in the middle of suppression satisfies the character number condition.

FIG. 5 shows a state in which the first team is trying to control the intermediate base 14. That is, as the number of characters located in the suppression area 16 of the intermediate base 14, the number of characters 5 of the first team (three in FIG. 5) is the number of characters of the second team (one in FIG. 5). ), And the condition for the number of characters is satisfied. Then, the elapsed time in the state where the first team satisfies the character number condition is indicated by the gauge value in the suppression gauge 24. Player 3 of the team in the middle of suppression should maintain the status quo until the time condition is satisfied while preventing the character 5 of the opponent team from entering the suppression area 16 so that the state of satisfying the character number condition is continued. Strive.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6, when the predetermined time elapses and the time condition is satisfied while the character number condition is satisfied, the suppression condition is satisfied, and the team in the middle of suppression controls the intermediate base. Become. Further, the gauge value of the suppression gauge 24 is full (100%), indicating that the time condition is satisfied. After that, the intermediate base becomes a base belonging to the suppressed team, and the team can use it as a base of its own team. It should be noted that the intermediate base 14 can be suppressed by satisfying the suppression conditions by the other team even after the suppression by one team, and can be taken from one team to become a base belonging to the other team. ..

One of the features of this embodiment is that the difficulty level of suppression of the intermediate base 14 is adjusted based on the main team parameter value of each of the first team and the second team or the gauge value of the main team gauge 20. There are two main ways to adjust the suppression difficulty of the intermediate base 14, one is to change the suppression conditions, and the other is to change the battle parameter values of each team.

By changing to relax the suppression conditions, the difficulty of suppressing the intermediate base 14 decreases and it becomes easier to suppress, and conversely, by changing to make the suppression conditions stricter, the difficulty of suppressing the intermediate base 14 Rise and become difficult to control. As described above, the suppression condition includes two conditions, a character number condition regarding the number of characters located in the suppression area 16 of the intermediate base 14, and a time condition regarding the elapsed time in a state where the character number condition is satisfied. .. Changing the suppression conditions means changing either or both of these two conditions. For example, as a change to relax the suppression condition, the character number condition may be changed so as to reduce the number of characters to be located in the suppression area 16 of the intermediate base 14, or the time condition should be changed to a predetermined time to elapse. There are things such as changing to shorten. On the contrary, as a change to make the suppression condition strict, the character number condition is changed so as to increase the number of characters to be located in the suppression area 16 of the intermediate base 14, and the time condition should be passed. There are things like changing to make the time longer.

Also, by temporarily changing the battle parameter value of each team, it is possible to adjust the relative fighting ability between each team and adjust the difficulty of controlling the intermediate base 14 by each team. For example, by increasing the combat parameter value for the attack of one team or decreasing the combat parameter value for the defense of the other team, the combat ability of one team is relatively increased, and for one team. Reduces the difficulty of suppressing the intermediate base 14, and makes it easier to suppress. Conversely, by lowering the combat parameter value for the attack of one team or increasing the parameter value for the defense of the other team, the fighting ability of one team is relatively reduced, and for one team. The difficulty of suppressing the intermediate base 14 increases and it becomes difficult to suppress.

The battle parameter value of the team is changed by changing the battle parameter value of the character 5 belonging to the team. The battle parameter value is, for example, a parameter value that affects the offensive power, the defensive power, and the battle between characters. In addition, the character whose battle parameter value is changed may be all characters belonging to the team, a specific character such as a general, or only a character involved in the suppression of the intermediate base. May be.

In this embodiment, the difficulty level of suppression of the intermediate base 14 is adjusted for each team. That is, even in the same intermediate base 14, the difficulty level of suppression may differ between the first team and the second team. Further, the adjustment of the suppression difficulty level of the intermediate base 14 is performed according to the adjustment level based on the main team parameter value of each of the first team and the second team or the gauge value of the main team gauge 20. The adjustment level is calculated according to the adjustment level setting table 318 shown in FIG. 7 as an example.

FIG. 7 is an example of the adjustment level setting table 318. As shown in FIG. 7, the adjustment level setting table 318 shows the difference between the main team parameter value of the team (hereinafter referred to as “target team”) to be adjusted for the suppression difficulty of the intermediate base 14 and the main team parameter value of the opponent team. , The adjustment level is associated and defined. In the present embodiment, it is defined that the larger the main team parameter value of the opponent team is larger than the main team parameter value of the target team, and the larger the difference is, the larger the adjustment level is. In other words, the difference in the degree of capture of the main team 12 of each team is regarded as the degree of superiority or inferiority (superiority / inferiority) of the battle situation, and the greater the degree to which the target team can be regarded as inferior, the larger the adjustment level is. It has established. Although FIG. 7 shows an example based on the Honjin parameter value, it may be calculated based on the gauge value of the Honjin gauge 20. This is because the gauge value of the main team gauge 20 is a value corresponding to the main team parameter value.

Then, the difficulty level of suppressing the intermediate base 14 for the target team is adjusted according to this adjustment level, and the degree of adjustment is variably changed according to various factors related to each team and the intermediate base 14. Details of these various elements will be described later.

Adjustment of the suppression difficulty level of the intermediate base 14 according to the adjustment level of the target team is performed according to the suppression difficulty adjustment table 322 determined for each adjustment level. 8 to 10 are diagrams showing an example of the suppression difficulty adjustment table 322. In these suppression difficulty adjustment tables 322, the contents of changes for each of the suppression conditions to be changed and the battle parameter values of each team are defined. Basically, the larger the adjustment level, that is, the greater the degree to which the target team can be regarded as inferior, the lower the difficulty of suppressing the intermediate base 14 is set. Further, in each suppression difficulty adjustment table 322, the change contents are finely adjusted according to the adjustment degree. Basically, the greater the degree of adjustment, the greater the degree of change, that is, the adjustment is made so that the difficulty of suppressing the intermediate base 14 is further reduced.

FIG. 8 is an example of the suppression difficulty adjustment table 322A for the adjustment level “0”. FIG. 9 is an example of the suppression difficulty adjustment table 322B for the adjustment level “1”. FIG. 10 is an example of the suppression difficulty adjustment table 322C for the adjustment level “2”.

The adjustment level is "0", which means that the target team is not inferior to the opponent team in the battle situation (balanced or superior battle situation). Therefore, in the suppression difficulty adjustment table 322A for the adjustment level "0", the suppression condition is set to a predetermined value, and adjustment is not performed according to the adjustment degree. In addition, it is stipulated that the battle parameter values of each team will not be changed. Then, the suppression difficulty level for this adjustment level "0" is set as the standard value, and at each adjustment level whose adjustment level is "1" or higher, the suppression difficulty level is determined to be lowered from this standard value. ing.

The adjustment level is "1", which means that the target team is slightly inferior to the opponent team. Therefore, in the suppression difficulty adjustment table 322B for the adjustment level “1”, when the adjustment degree is small (“1” or less in the example of FIG. 9), the suppression difficulty is equivalent to that when the adjustment level is “0”. It is stipulated that the difficulty of suppression is gradually reduced as the degree of adjustment increases. That is, regarding the suppression condition, it is stipulated that the suppression condition defined in the suppression difficulty adjustment table 322A for the adjustment level "0" is gradually relaxed as the adjustment degree increases. In addition, regarding the battle parameter value, the attack power of the target team is gradually increased as the degree of adjustment increases, so that the combat ability of the target team against the opponent team is gradually increased. ..

The adjustment level is "2", which means that the target team is inferior to the opponent team compared to the case where the adjustment level is "1". Therefore, in the suppression difficulty adjustment table 322C for the adjustment level “2”, when the adjustment degree is small (“1” or less in the example of FIG. 10), the adjustment level is slightly lowered as compared with the case where the adjustment level is “0”. The difficulty level of suppression is set so that the difficulty level of suppression is gradually reduced as the degree of adjustment increases. That is, regarding the suppression condition, it is determined that the suppression condition defined in the suppression difficulty adjustment table 322A for the adjustment level "0" is changed from a slightly relaxed value to gradually relax as the adjustment degree increases. ing. Regarding the battle parameter value, the attack power of the target team is gradually increased as the degree of adjustment increases, and the defense power of the opponent team is gradually decreased as the degree of adjustment increases. The fighting ability of the target team has been changed to increase relatively gradually. The degree of relative increase in the fighting ability of this target team is greater than when the adjustment level is "1".

Although not shown, the same applies to adjustment levels of "3" and above. That is, in the suppression difficulty adjustment table 322 for each adjustment level, when the adjustment degree is small (for example, "1" or less), the suppression difficulty when the adjustment level is "0" decreases according to the adjustment level. The difficulty level of suppression is set, and it is stipulated that the difficulty level of suppression is gradually reduced as the degree of adjustment increases. It should be noted that the change of the battle parameter value may increase the relative fighting ability of the target team with respect to the opponent team by lowering the attack power of the opponent team.

Explain the various factors that determine the degree of adjustment. In the present embodiment, the multiplication value (multiplication coefficient) of each value of the six elements (first element to sixth element) is set as the degree of adjustment. The value of each element is determined according to the adjustment degree setting table 320 shown in FIGS. 11 to 16 as an example. The large number part (integer value) obtained by rounding down the decimal part from the value obtained by multiplying all the multiplication values of the six elements is used as the adjustment degree of the suppression difficulty adjustment table. In addition, instead of using all six elements (first element to sixth element), by selecting one or more of these, the multiplication value to be used is determined and the degree of adjustment is calculated. May be good.

FIG. 11 is an example of the adjustment degree setting table 320A that determines the value of the first element. The first element is an element based on the arrangement position of the intermediate base 14 in the game space. In the adjustment degree setting table 320A shown in FIG. 11, the value of the first element is associated with the distance from the intermediate base 14 to the opponent team's main team. In the present embodiment, the longer the distance, the larger the value of the first element. In FIG. 11, the distance from the intermediate base 14 to the opponent team's main team is used, but the distance from the intermediate base 14 to the target team's main team may be used. In other words, it can be said that the degree of adjustment for the intermediate bases where the reach to the main team of each team is relatively short is smaller than the degree of adjustment for the intermediate bases which are relatively far away.

FIG. 12 is an example of the adjustment degree setting table 320B that determines the value of the second element. The "second element" is an element based on the characteristics of any of the types, levels, rarity values (rare values), attributes, and combat ability values (attack power, defense power, etc.) of the character 5 to which each team belongs. Both are elements based on the total value of the team based on the properties of the character 5 belonging to each team. In the adjustment degree setting table 320B shown in FIG. 12, the value of the second element is associated with the difference between the total value of the opponent team and the total value of the target team. In the present embodiment, it is defined that the total value of the opponent team is higher than the total value of the target team, and the larger the difference, the larger the value of the second element. The total value of the team is the total value of the individual ability values of the characters belonging to the team obtained based on the characteristics of the character. The character's individual ability value becomes higher as the property level is higher, the rarity value is higher, the combat ability value is higher, and if it is a specific attribute, it is higher than other attributes. Defined to be a value.

FIG. 13 is an example of the adjustment degree setting table 320C that determines the value of the third element. The third element is an element based on the combination of characters of each team. In the adjustment degree setting table 320C shown in FIG. 13, the value of the third element is associated with the combination condition relating to the character belonging to the target team. The combination condition is, for example, a combination of characters belonging to the target team, and is a combination condition that the type and attribute should satisfy. In addition to the types and attributes shown as an example in FIG. 13, conditions related to the character's properties such as level, rarity value (rare value), and combat ability value can be included. In addition, a condition regarding the combination with the character of the opponent team may be included. Of these combination conditions, the total of the values associated with the combination conditions satisfied by the target team is defined as the value of the third element.

FIG. 14 is an example of the adjustment degree setting table 320D that determines the value of the fourth element. The fourth element is an element based on the formation based on the arrangement position of the characters belonging to each team in the game space. In the adjustment degree setting table 320D shown in FIG. 14, the value of the fourth element is associated with the formation condition regarding the placement position of the character belonging to the target team. The formation condition is a condition that the arrangement position of a plurality of characters belonging to the target team in the game space should be satisfied. For example, it is a condition of the relationship of the relative placement position of each character based on the position of the target intermediate base or the character of the opponent team, or the relationship of the absolute placement position between the characters. Further, it may be a relationship of placement positions to be satisfied by a character that satisfies a specific condition (for example, a feature relating to the strengths and weaknesses of an attack, which is one of the combat ability values such as a melee attack type and a long-range attack type). Of these plurality of conditions, the sum of the values associated with the conditions satisfied by the team during suppression is defined as the value of the fourth element.

FIG. 15 is an example of the adjustment degree setting table 320E that determines the value of the fifth element. The fifth element is an element based on the suppression status of the intermediate bases of each team, which is an example of the progress of the game. In the adjustment degree setting table 320E shown in FIG. 15, the value of the fifth element is associated with the number of intermediate bases controlled by the team during suppression. In this embodiment, it is defined that the smaller the number of suppression intermediate bases of the team in the middle of suppression, the larger the fifth factor. In FIG. 15, the number of suppression intermediate bases of the team in the middle of suppression is used, but the number of intermediate bases in suppression of the opponent team may be used. In this case, it is preferable to set so that the fifth factor becomes a larger value as the number of suppression intermediate bases of the opponent team increases. Alternatively, it may be the difference or ratio of the number of control intermediate bases of each team. In this case, it is preferable to set so that the fifth factor becomes a larger value as the number of suppression intermediate bases of the opponent team is larger than the number of suppression intermediate bases of the team in the middle of suppression and the difference is larger.

FIG. 16 is an example of the adjustment degree setting table 320F that determines the value of the sixth element. The sixth element is another example of the progress of the game, which is based on the elapsed time of the game. In the adjustment degree setting table 320F shown in FIG. 16, the value of the sixth element is associated with the elapsed time from the start of the game. In the present embodiment, it is defined that the longer the elapsed time, that is, the closer to the end of the game having a time limit, the larger the value.

[Processing flow]
FIG. 22 is a flowchart illustrating a flow of game processing. This process is related to the execution control of one game, and is executed by the game management unit 210.

First, the matching control unit 212 performs matching processing to divide the players 3 participating in the game into teams (step S1). The matching method can be realized in the same manner as a known team-based multiplayer online game. Next, based on the game initial setting data 310, initial settings such as construction of the game field 10 in the game space and arrangement of the character 5 operated by each player 3 are performed (step S3). Subsequently, the main team gauge display control unit 216 starts display control of the main team gauge 20 on the game screen to be displayed on the operation terminal 1500 of each player 3 (step S5). Then, a match between the matched teams is started (step S7), and control of each character 5 according to the player operation by the character control unit 214 is started (step S9).

During the battle, the intermediate base suppression control unit 220 performs repetitive processing (loop A) for each of the intermediate bases 14 in the game field 10. In this iterative process (loop A), first, the adjustment control unit 222 adjusts the difficulty of suppressing each team for the target intermediate base 14 (step S11). This adjustment of the suppression difficulty includes a change in the suppression conditions for the target intermediate base 14 and a change in the battle parameter value of the team.

Next, the intermediate base suppression control unit 220 determines whether or not the number of characters condition among the suppression conditions for the team is satisfied for each team. If there is a team that satisfies the number of characters condition (step S13: YES), that team is set as a team in the middle of suppressing the target intermediate base 14, and the display control of the suppression gauge 24 on the game screen of each player 3 is started (step). S15).

If the team in the middle of suppression does not satisfy the character number condition before the time condition is satisfied (step S17: NO), the setting of the team in the middle of suppression is canceled and the display control of the suppression gauge 24 ends (step S19). Further, if the team in the middle of suppression satisfies the time condition after a predetermined time elapses while the condition for the number of characters is satisfied (step S17: YES), it is assumed that the team in the middle of suppression has suppressed the target intermediate base 14 and is the target. It is set that the intermediate base 14 of the above belongs to the team (step S21). The processing up to this point is the iterative processing (loop A) for the target intermediate base 14.

When the iterative process (loop A) is performed for each of the intermediate bases 14, the elapsed time from the start of the match is subsequently determined, and if the predetermined time limit has not elapsed (step S25: NO). , Return after step S9. If the predetermined time limit has elapsed from the start of the battle (step S25: YES), the control of each character 5 by the character control unit 214 is ended (step S27), and the battle is ended (step S29). Then, the victory or defeat is determined based on the main team parameter value of each team, and the game result is displayed on the operation terminal 1500 of each player 3 (step S31). When the above processing is performed, this processing is completed.

[Action effect]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a mechanism capable of changing the situation in the team battle game. For example, the inferiority / superiority of each team can be determined based on the degree of capture of the main team indicated by 1) the main team parameter value of each team or 2) the gauge value that increases / decreases according to this main team parameter. Then, by adjusting the difficulty of suppressing the intermediate base so that the team judged to be inferior can easily suppress it, it is possible to support the suppression of the intermediate base by the inferior team. In other words, it can be a mechanism that gives the inferior team a chance to overcome the disadvantageous situation. In addition, by adjusting the difficulty of controlling the intermediate base instead of the main team of the opponent team to be captured, it is easier to control the intermediate base against the inferior team while maintaining the superior situation of the opponent team, and it is suppressed. It is possible to indirectly support the capture of the opponent team's main team using the intermediate base as a foothold.

[Modification example]
It should be noted that the applicable embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and of course, it can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, an example of realizing an online game in a game system 1 which is a client-server type computer system has been given, but it may be realized in a computer system in which a plurality of operation terminals 1500 are connected peer-to-peer. In this case, any operation terminal 1500 is made to carry out the function of the server system 1000 of the above-described embodiment. Alternatively, the functions of the game management unit 210 may be shared and shared by a plurality of operation terminals 1500.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, as a victory condition of the game, the team that has captured the main team 12 of the opponent team first wins, and neither team can capture the main team 12 of the opponent team when the time limit has elapsed. In that case, the team with the highest gauge value wins. However, the victory conditions may be as follows. In other words, the team that captured the opponent team's main team 12 first will still win, and if neither team can capture the opponent team's main team 12 after the time limit has passed, the team that has captured the opponent team's main team 12 will still win. The team with the most bases 14 wins. When the victory condition is changed in this way, the gauge value may be increased or decreased according to the number of the controlled intermediate bases 14 to indicate the progress of the game.

Also, instead of the number of the suppressed intermediate bases 14, the suppression points with different weights may be distributed to each intermediate base 14, and the team with the most suppression points may win. In this case, the gauge value may be increased or decreased according to the total of the suppression points to indicate the progress of the game.
